Huawei has expanded its video portfolio, while Finland’s DNA and Telekom Austria have announced new deals to distribute their TV offerings, as the IBC event draws to a close.

Huawei has unveiled a new cloud-based platform, Envision, that allows cablecos to offer IPTV services including multiscreen, time shifting and personalised video, as well as emerging technology such as 8K UHD video and virtual reality.

The hybrid platform has been designed to ensure traditional cable TV services can run alongside those of IPTV, the China-based vendor said.

It includes the 3READY Rapid-Launch Multiscreen Solution from 3 Screen Solutions, which allows users to discover and watch content on any screen.
